While I'll agree that it would be nice to see a list of changes posted here as they happen, I don't think this is strictly necessary, that's what the very well detailed changelog is for. Once you've checked speakup out from git, switch to the directory with the sources, and do: git log and you'll want to pipe that through your favorite pager of course. If you get speakup as a package from your distribution's repository, then there should be a changelog included with your package. To summarize, while it would be nice to see a list of changes posted here periodically, if it comes down to the development team spending time on duplicating already existing information, or instead spending that time on fixing bugs/implementing new features, I'd rather see the developers use that time to do the latter personally.
